They make other styles.
the offsets on the cls are completely different than those on the e,that is why the lips are larger.

Having the wheel in front of you with the offset different from a wheel with a 4" lip is dfferent. I have had the wheels in front of me also? whats that mean?

The way some places get a 4" rear lip in very simple terms is going with a very aggressive offset with a very thin back pad of the wheel. Again, in simple terms, this just means the face of the wheel is very close to the caliper allowing for a larger lip. If you have a 3" lip on yours, well I bet the place does not sell many HRE's for the W11 E55. I personally have never seen less then a 3.5" lip on the E55. Where did you get those from? Seems like the guys there just went VERY conservative.

On the competition series, you will be just a little under a 4' lip.

Your question is hard to answer not knowing what type of rim you want. Once you've picked a style, someone can tell you the biggest size lip.

I don't think you would want ANY rim with the biggest lip, as you may not like the rim style.
